Cut to: Shot of the Morgue building2. INT. Morgue. DAY. (Tru and Jack are in the sign-in room, both in white lab coats. There is a body lying on a trolley, a camera pointed at his head)

TRUOkay, um, we can start over here. This is the digital autopsy capture, first we…

JACK…scan the body with the camera for any visible signs of trauma, then enter the name and the case number into the database

TRURight. Exactly. Um, okay, over here. This is the live scan machine

JACKUsed to log fingerprints. Flat panel, to take hand impressions

(Tru looks at him)

I read the manuals

TRURight. Wish someone had said something, I wouldn’t have gotten up so early

JACKBut then we couldn’t have spent this quality time together. And the truth is, there are a couple of things I don’t know

TRUSuch as?

JACKSuch as, do you like working here? The reason I ask is, you don’t look like your average Morgue attendant

TRUOh yeah? And what do I look like?

JACKYou look like a girl who takes things way too seriously. Someone who should be enjoying life but probably spends Friday nights home alone, watching TV, eating a microwave dinner. Should I bag the personals?

TRUI don’t spend every Friday night at home! I mean, well anyways what do you do on Friday nights?

JACKWhy don’t you tell me?

TRUWell, you don’t stay in, that’s for sure. Because that’d mean you’d be alone and you’re not a guy who’s all that keen on being alone. So you go out, to a bar, or a club. And after a few hours, you return home, sometimes solo, but usually with some nameless, faceless, shameless girl who just doesn’t understand you. But either way, at the end of the night, you’re alone, in front of the TV, eating a microwave dinner

JACKI don’t own a microwave

(They both smile)

But you still haven’t answered my question. Do you like it here?

TRUActually, I do

JACKI understand

TRUYou do? Because, well not everyone does

JACKWell that’s because most people believe only the living need help

3. INT. Arcade. DAY. (A boy is playing a shooting game. A dark haired young man – Charlie - enters. The arcade attendant looks up from his handheld game, then goes back to it)

TEENAGER in CAPHand ‘em over! Right now

(He looks up again. Two teenagers are talking loudly in one corner. He goes back to his game. Charlie approaches him)

ARCADE ATTENDENTCan I help you?

CHARLIESure can

(He cocks a gun and aims it at the assistant)

Open the safe under the counter and fill it up

ARCADE ATTENDENTWe don’t have a safe

(Charlie turns around and grabs a young woman with bright red hair and sunglasses, she screams)

CHARLIEOpen it, or she dies!

WOMANPlease, do what he says!

CHARLIE (pointing the gun at the attendant) Now!

(The attendant ducks down under the counter, and opens the safe. He looks up at Charlie: he’s still pointing the gun at him)

JACKI think it was about two months. And then things got complicated, and you broke up. Only now you’re wondering if you did the right thing, or just the easy thing

TRUOkay yeah, something like that. So now’s the part where you’re gonna lay into me for being that girl who’s way too serious, right?

JACKNo. I was gonna tell you I’m sorry things didn’t work out the way you wanted

(He walks out of the room. Tru watches him, curiously. Then she sighs and turns back into the room. Davis enters)

DAVISHey. How’d it go with Jack?

TRUGood, I think

DAVISWhat, did he mishandle equipment? What’d he do? Did he…?

TRUNo, no, nothing like that. He’s a smart guy, he knows his stuff. I just can’t get a read on him for some reason. It’s like one minute he’s in your face and almost obnoxious, and the next he’s charming and trying to be your best friend

DAVISWell, he’s just trying to get acclimated, you know. I remember your first few days here… (he laughs, then,off Tru’s look) …Besides, we need the extra help. Especially with your (whispering) Other Job

TRUYeah, I guess

DAVISAnyway, I’ve got to run. I will see you tonight

TRUTonight?

DAVISYeah, Luc’s show

TRUWhat show?

DAVISOh, uh, never mind…

TRUDavis!

DAVISOkay. Luc is having a photography show at some gallery. I’m sure it’s no big deal. I was only invited at the last minute

TRUNo, its fine. I mean, it’s totally fine. We broke up, and I’m working tonight anyway. Did I mention its fine?

DAVISYeah, three times

TRUWell it is. It’s completely and totally…

DAVISFine

9. INT. Restaurant. NIGHT.

LINDSAYYou didn’t have to go for all this trouble for just three months. Although, I’m so glad that you did. I can’t wait to order dessert, they have this amazing chocolate soufflé here

(Harrison is staring around the room, playing with his napkin)

Is everything okay?

HARRISONWho? What’s that, hon?

LINDSAYNothing, it just looks like you’re planning an escape or something

HARRISONYeah…

(Harrison laughs then turns it into a cough as a waiter walks past. He pretends to be choking on something in his throat)

LINDSAYOh my God, here, here, drink some water

WAITERSir, are you all right?

LINDSAYOh my God…

(Harrison stops choking and looks in his hands)

HARRISONA bone?

(He stands, throwing his napkin on the table)

This was in my veal! I almost choked!

WAITERI’m terribly sorry, sir. Let me get you another dish

HARRISONOh, another dish, huh? And another bone? I don’t think so, pal

A fish bone? You ordered veal, you idiot! Let me guess, you don’t have any money, do you?

(Harrison chuckles)

It’s just one more chapter in the in the Harrison Davies book of disappointments

HARRISONWho would have thought that Deep Shaker would have won? It was a 20-1 shot! 20-1!

10. INT. Morgue. NIGHT. (Tru is sitting in the office, watching the TV)

TV REPORTERIn what is amounting to a crime spree, the gunman once again used a customer as a human shield when he held up the Far Side clothing store, shortly after 6 this evening. The fact there were no security…

(Tru’s cellphone rings, she switches the TV off)

TRU (on cellphone) Hey Linds, how was dinner?

LINDSAY (voice-over) Great

Cut to: Lindsay walking down the street

LINDSAYUntil your brother pretended to choke on his entrée

Cut to: TRUWhat?

Cut to: LINDSAYHe was trying to get his meal comped because he blew all his money at the track today

Cut to: TRUYou’re joking, right?

Cut to: LINDSAYI know his heart’s in the right place, but I really think I’m at the end of my rope with him

Cut to: TRULook, he’s my brother and I love him but…anything you need?

JACKIs your brother in trouble? Sorry, I couldn’t help overhearing. Is everything okay?

TRUJust family stuff

JACKSiblings. They can get to you like no-one else

TRUYou have brothers and sisters?

JACKI had a sister. She died a couple of years ago

TRUI’m so sorry

JACKThanks. That’s nice of you. But I really feel like she went to a better place. I know it sounds cliché, but I really believe its true. She was sick, and then she wasn’t. Anyway, I know what you’re going through with your brother. You feel like he’s your responsibility…

TRUTell me about it

JACKStill, sometimes you gotta let them make their own mistakes. Learn the hard way, you know? Speaking of mistakes, I, um, I had this soup from the vending machine…

TRUForgot about that on your tour

JACKYeah. Anywhere around here a guy can get some edible food?

TRUYeah, the diner two blocks up isn’t bad. Actually, I was gonna get some take-out. I’ll get you something

JACKOnly if I can pay

TRUSounds like a deal

WAITRESSCouple more minutes

TRUOkay, I’ll be right over there

(She walks to a booth and sits down. Michelle Carey enters)

MICHELLEHello Tru

TRUDo I know you?

MICHELLEMichelle Carey. We almost spoke on the phone a couple of times

TRUYeah, I’ve got nothing to say to you

MICHELLEI ran into your brother this morning. He wouldn’t talk to me either. You’ve been dodging my calls for over a month now, I’m sure your boss told you about our chat

TRUHe also told me that he kicked you out of the office

MICHELLEAborted suicides, murder attempts, near-accidents. All these rescues. What do you have to say about turning up at all these places before the police do? Or the fact that your mother did the same thing?

TRUI don’t know what you’re talking about, where are you getting all this?

MICHELLEIt doesn’t matter, Tru. Now’s the time to give me your side of the story, or you’ll read about it in the paper next weekend. I’ll go to print whether I get a quote from you or not

WAITRESS (off-screen) Order’s up

(Tru gets up and walks over to the counter. Michelle follows her)

MICHELLEAt first I thought you had some sort of hero complex. Setting up these near misses so you could rescue people in the nick of time. But you never took any credit

TRUThere’s nothing to take credit for

(Charlie walks past Tru and Michelle and grabs a blonde woman who is sitting on a bar stool. He thrusts a gun into her chest, and she screams)

(She looks down at Michelle, wondering what to do next. Michelle grabs her arm)

MICHELLEI need you!

Cut to: TRUTell him I’ll be right there

13. INT. Morgue. DAY.

DAVISTru, to be honest, this doesn’t set a good example

TRUI’m sorry Jack, I didn’t mean to keep you waiting

JACKIt’s all right, I got nowhere to be

TRUGood. Then, Davis, can I talk to you for one sec? In your office?

DAVISOkay

TRUBe right back

JACKI’ll be here

15. INT. Davis’s office. DAY.

DAVISMichelle the reporter is the one who asked for help?

TRUUnfortunately. But not before she had all these questions about me saving people

DAVISWas there anyone else hurt?

TRUWell the gunman picked out a customer who was wounded in the crossfire and then he dragged her out of the Diner with him

DAVISNow you’ve gotta spend the day trying to save the woman who’s trying to expose you. Jeez Louise, talk about irony. What do you know about the gunman?

TRUApparently he was going on some sort of Crime Spree today

[Flashback: MICHELLE: “This guy hit two other places today”] [Flashback: TV REPORTER: “He held up the Far Side clothing store shortly after 6 this evening”]

TRU (cont’d) Three places in five hours. An arcade, a clothing store and then the diner. And each time he uses a customer as a shield

DAVISThat worries me

TRUDavis, you’re always worried

DAVISNo, the fact that Michelle’s the one that died concerns me. I believe that some people are fated to die before their time. And I believe that some people are fated to lead to the death of others. If you wind up back at the diner with Michelle, fate could be altered enough where someone else could get shot

TRUWell, Davis…

DAVISNot to mention that if you save her, you’re exposed. Who you are, what you can do. You’ve gotta call the cops, Tru. Cause if you can get the gunman arrested at either of the two places, he’ll never make it to the diner. Michelle will be safe, and so will you

TRUOkay, fine, I’ll do it

DAVISAnd… you will? That was easy

(Tru walks out of the office, Davis follows her)

Where are you going? I thought you were gonna call the cops

TRUI am, but I also need to make sure the cops get this guy, otherwise I won’t know that Michelle’s safe

DAVISWill you listen to me for a minute?

(Tru turns around)

Look, I know that you’re good at what you do. But that doesn’t mean I can’t worry

TRUThat means a lot, Davis. Just keep your cell on at Luc’s show, I may need you

DAVISMaybe I’ll see you there, you know, if you have time

TRUActually I wasn’t invited. Don’t worry, I’ll call you later

(She walks away. Jack is in the doorway. He turns to Davis)

JACKWhat about that tour?

DAVISUm, you know, personal business. But I’ll give you an orientation later this afternoon

JACKTru’s a busy girl

DAVISYeah, she’s got hobbies. A lot of hobbies

16. INT. Morgue Corridor. DAY. (Harrison meets Tru on the way out)

HARRISONHey, hey, what’s the rush?

TRUListen Harrison, I think it’s sweet that you remembered your three month anniversary, but I’m not giving you any money

HARRISONWhy would you think that? Why…? Why do reliving days suck for me? Hmm? So, what did I do? TRUYou went to the track and lost everything I gave you, so I’m sorry but you’re gonna have to be more creative

HARRISONYeah, but…

TRUAnd I’m gonna do you an even bigger favour today, I’m gonna borrow your car, so you can’t go to the track at all

HARRISONNo, wait…

TRUI gotta go

HARRISONWait, but…go on! Save everybody but me

(Jack walks into the corridor)

HARRISON (to himself) I gotta get a job! … Nah

JACKHey, you look a little lost there, bud. Everything okay?

HARRISONYou’ll have to ask my sister

JACKOh, you must be Tru’s brother. I’m Jack, the new guy

HARRISONJack, Harrison, what’s up

(they shake hands)

JACKHey. You sure everything’s okay?

HARRISONUh, yeah it’s nothing. My girl wanted to go out for the anniversary, you know. I was gonna take her to a nice dinner, but I’m all tapped out, so…

JACK Well, what do you usually do to score some quick cash?

HARRISONI bet the horses. But I don’t even have start-up cash, so…

JACKI love the track. Why don’t we go together and I’ll spot you a few bucks

HARRISONCome on, get out of here

JACKI got a couple hours till orientation, let’s go

HARRISONSweet. Cause if we hurry, we’ll still make the daily double, huh? Check it out

JACKAidan’s Luck loves this track. Three for three at this distance. Plus, the jockey/trainer combination win at a 32-percent clip

HARRISONRight. Right, forgot about that

(He goes back over to Frankie)

Sorry about that. Had to have a quick powwow with my new consultant over there. Give me 20 on lucky seven, to win

19. INT. Arcade. DAY. (Tru looks at her watch. It reads 2:58pm. She looks around, there is no sign of Charlie. The woman with bright red hair and sunglasses walks past her) TEENAGER in CAPHand ‘em over! Right now!

(Tru turns round, but its only two teenagers. An Officer walks over to them)

OFFICEREverything okay?

TEENAGER 1Fine, Sir

TEENAGER in CAPNo problem here, Officer

WOMAN (to Arcade Attendant) Could I get some change for the parking metre?

(The Officer walks over to the Arcade Attendant)

OFFICERSee anything out of the ordinary today?

ATTENDANTBesides half my clientele? No

(Tru looks outside. The police car is parked right in front of the Arcade)

DISPATCHERUnit 47, what’s your status on that 211 at the Lion’s Lair Arcade?

OFFICER (over radio) This is McLain, that 211’s a negative

DISPATCHERTen-four

(Michelle looks out of the car’s window over at the Arcade. The Officer is stood outside)

OFFICER (into his radio) Some nut just called in a false alarm. Premises were checked. Its all clear

(Tru exits the arcade)

DISPATCHER (over radio) All right, ten-four, we got you back in service

OFFICERIf that woman calls again, you let her know that false reporting of a crime is a felony

DISPATCHERWill do. Ten-four

(Michelle watches Tru walking along the street)

MICHELLE (to herself) What are you up to?

[Fade to Black] [Flashes of the day’s images in sequence]

22. INT. Morgue. DAY.

TRUThe gunman never showed up so the robbery never even happened

DAVISYour involvement altered the day. He must’ve cased the place

TRUSaw the cops and took off, right. But now there’s just one problem

DAVISThe guy’s still out there

TRURight. Means crime spree’s still on track, meaning I have no assurance that Michelle’s gonna be safe

DAVISWell it might be time for another anonymous tip

TRUYou gonna bail me out after they lock me up? Sorry, its up to me now. I gotta head to that second location

DAVISTru, no…it’s too dangerous

TRUDavis, I can’t turn my back on fate. Who knows what could happen? I have to do this

DAVISOkay. But I want you to take this

(He hands her a medal on a neck chain)

TRUSaint Benedict medal

DAVISIt’s for protection. Many people believe it’ll ensure that no harm will come to the body or soul who possess it. It was given to me a long time ago. And I like to think that its kept me safe ever since

TRUI’m gonna be just fine, D

DAVISI hope so

Cut to: Tru running through the crypt and into the corridor. Luc arrives in her path

TRUHey

LUCHey

TRUI’m just…

LUCI know. On your way out the door

(he steps aside)

Hey, Tru. Listen, I know you’re busy, and this is kinda last minute, but if you get some time tonight I’d love for you to come to my show

(He hands her a leaflet)

TRUThanks. I’ll try

LUCWell I’ll keep my hopes up

TRUBye

LUCBye

23. INT. Bookies. DAY.

HARRISONThank you Aidan’s Luck. (counting the bills as Frankie hands them over) Two, three, four, five (he takes it and turns to Jack) And thank you! I don’t know what I would have done without you. No, actually, I do

(They laugh, and settle at the bar)

No, I wish Tru could see this! Teach her to have a little faith in her baby bro

HARRISONBefore we got there, I’m thinking to myself, it’s gonna be soup and crackers for you and me. Jack, he’s turned me in the direction of this long shot. Now, I’m a little dubious mind you, but Jack said: “If this horse wins, you can buy six anniversary dinners”

LINDSAY (bored) Mm-hm

HARRISONHey, are you gonna eat the rest of this?

(He takes a spoonful of her chocolate soufflé)

Deep Shaker was like, a 20-1 shot. Oh, but Jack had a feeling. And boy, did he ever have a feeling. I’m talking about $400 dollars worth of feelings!

LINDSAYI have an idea. Why don’t I leave, so you can have dinner with Jack?

HARRISON (not getting it) What?

LINDSAYNever mind

(the waiter brings the bill over, and turns to leave)

HARRISONWhat a day! What a night! And it ain’t over (he whistles to the waiter) Where you going, chief?

(the waiter turns around, Harrison slaps several bills in his hand)

For your little lady

WAITERThank you, sir

LINDSAY (sarcastic) Oh, no, you ought to thank Jack

JACKSorry, I subscribe to the Times (he shakes her hand)

MICHELLEI’m not peddling subscriptions. I’m looking for Tru Davies?

CHARLIEThat girl knew we were gonna be at the arcade and the clothing store

BETHIt was a coincidence. Bad luck

CHARLIEShe knows we’re together

BETHShe has no idea who we are, and there’s no way in hell she knows we’re gonna hit this diner

(Charlie sighs, unsure)

Unless you talked to somebody, Charlie

CHARLIEYou think I’m nuts? Why would I tell anyone about this? Look, this is getting out of hand, Beth. This was supposed to be just the two of us having a few kicks, grabbing some quick dough without anyone getting hurt

BETHAnd who’s gotten hurt, Charlie?

CHARLIENo-one, but…

BETHExactly, no-one

CHARLIEWe promised each other that the minute there was any trouble, we’re gonna back off

BETHMeanwhile, we haven’t seen a dime. As for kicks, well, haven’t got much there either

BETHAll right. I leave, she lives. Simple as that

TRUNo-one’s been hurt yet, but that could change. In fact, I can almost guarantee its going to

OFFICERJust let it go, miss

TRU (to Beth) What if she gets shot? What if she’s killed?

BETHLook, just shut up!

TRULook, everyone knows what you look like. You’re gonna end up alone in prison for the rest of your life, is that what you want?

CHARLIE (off-screen) No, she doesn’t

(Camera moves to show he has just entered the diner)

Please, Beth. You gotta stop. We never wanted to hurt anyone. This isn’t what we do. We’re not criminals. We’re not even good at it. How else could she have been on to us all day? And if she is, the cops can’t be far behind

TRUActually, there’s one right there

TRU (voice-over) He did?

LINDSAYYep. And he also spent the entire evening talking about his new track buddy named Jack

Cut to: LINDSAYWhy do I have a feeling if a couple of long shots hadn’t come in, I would’ve been eating a frozen pizza instead of a soufflé?

Cut to: LINDSAYMeh, ask me in the morning

Cut to: TRUOkay. Good night

MICHELLEI think you owe me an explanation

TRUGod, I’ve had it with you! It’s not enough I just saved your ungrateful as… (she stops, sighs and composes herself) Okay, you want the truth?

MICHELLEThat’s all I ever wanted

TRUWell, then turn on that tape recorder

(Michelle turns it on and holds it out)

TRU (cont’d) Yesterday I went to the diner. You were following me, just like you did today

MICHELLEYesterday? I didn’t go to the…

TRUDo you wanna hear this or not? There was a hold-up at the diner. You were shot, and killed. After you died, you asked for my help. The day rewound and now I’m reliving yesterday

MICHELLEWhat?

TRUIn order to keep you from dying, I had to try and prevent a crime spree. Which you tipped me off on yesterday, and thanks for that by the way. But you ended up at the diner anyway, because that’s how fate wanted it

MICHELLESo now you want me to think you’re just plain nuts? Nice try. But its not gonna work. I don’t know exactly what happened back there, but you and I aren’t done
